CAT: Hear that song? I love this song. It's one of those songs you
always hear, but you never know who plays it. I'll probably never know.
I don't want to know now. It would probably ruin the feeling. Whenever I
hear this song I always feel there should be credits rolling you know? Like
it's the end of something. The end of a movie. It just brings up so much
that guitar. It's concluding something. It's talking. The credits are rolling
over the lead actor's dead body facedown in a gutter. The camera pans back.
The rain is pouring down. And all that guitar can say is Oh well.
That's Life. Whatever. Every time I hear this song
from now on I will remember this day and what happened and what I did. And
I will remember this moment in time, right now, this exact place, the smell,
everything and the scene will freeze and the credits will roll. I
never want to know who plays this song. It would ruin everything.
